While men are free to do what they wish when it comes to clothing and hobbies, many of them feel restricted by social norms.

Whether it's carrying a handbag or wearing dresses, men often feel like certain activities have been labelled 'too feminine' for them to do without judgement.

Now, men have taken to Reddit to reveal the things they would do immediately if this wasn't the case.

The most popular? Wearing yoga pants.

'I bought some fleece long underwear that are more or less a male equivalent to fleece lined leggings. I told my wife I now 100% understand why she wears yoga pants and leggings at every available opportunity,' a man wrote on Reddit.

Another man said he wouldn't think twice about taking up quilting.

I wish I could smell like a flowerbed all the time without getting judged.

'I live in Pennsylvania and there's some damn impressive quilting happening here,' he wrote.

'And, to top it off, I think it's awesome that you can make something like a quilt and give it to someone, who'll literally wrap themselves in the gift you've made them.

'F**k it. I'm making a quilt, you guys.'

Knitting and quilting: 'If I have an hour and a half to sit in one place I'll turn on some music and knit it all the way to another city,' one man wrote

Another man added: 'I took up knitting few weeks ago. My scarf is going to be the best one I ever owned. If I have an hour and a half to sit in one place I'll turn on some music and knit it all the way to another city.'

Other 'feminine' things men found appealing were face masks, laser hair removal, skirts and floral perfumes.

'When they come out of the bathroom after showering and freshening up, it smells like someone knocked over a jar full of polka dots or something,' a Redditor wrote.

'They're all flowery and fruity and sweet. I wish I could smell like a flowerbed all the time without getting judged.'
